Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de production de cristaux granulaires de type pour tube de descente (1), ledit dispositif permettant de fabriquer des corps de cristaux généralement sphériques par solidification du liquide fondu granulaire de matière inorganique, tandis que le liquide peut tomber librement dans un tube de descente. Ledit dispositif comprend un dispositif de formation de liquide fondu (2), un tube de descente (3), un système de formation du flux gazeux (4) servant à former le flux de gaz de refroidissement à l'intérieur du tube de descente (3), et un système de récupération (5) servant à récupérer les corps de cristaux (25a) provenant de la partie d'extrémité inférieure du tube de descente (3). Ledit tube de descente (3) comporte aussi un tube d'entrée (30), un tube de refroidissement (31) et un tube de solidification (32), ce tube de refroidissement (31) étant constitué de telle manière qu'une superficie de la section transversale est réduite vers un côté inférieur pour ajuster généralement la vitesse d'écoulement du gaz de refroidissement par rapport à la vitesse en chute libre du liquide fondu granulaire. Ledit tube de solidification (32) est relié à l'extrémité inférieure du tube de refroidissement (31) et la superficie de la section transversale correspondante est augmentée de manière discontinue à partir de l'extrémité inférieure du tube de refroidissement (31). Etant donné que le gaz de refroidissement est soudainement décéléré à proximité de l'extrémité supérieure du tube de solidification (32) pour accroître une pression de gaz, des cristaux primaires sont engendrés dans le liquide fondu à l'état de surfusion, et le liquide est cristallisé subitement.
